Hi, I’m Brian Thacker, an award-winning travel author, travel writer, travel podcaster,
travel blogger, travel marketer and travel junkie. 

I’m a British-born Australian who lives in the U.S. Yes, I'm confused, too.

I've written seven travel books, write travel articles for publications in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, write and host travel podcasts and work as a creative and copywriter on tourism and travel accounts.

My articles and images have been published in print and digital publications in Australia, UK, New Zealand, U.S.A, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bali and Nepal (yes, I made it into the Nepali Times).

I take shots for my travel articles and the funny thing is that nowadays the images can be from my whiz-bang camera or my iPhone. See if you can
tell the difference?

I have worked as a creative director, art director and copywriter on many tourism and travel related accounts, from Tourism Noosa to Intrepid Travel and Fiji Tourism to Christmas & Cocos (Keeling) Islands.

As part of my podcast production job I shoot and edit videos (podcast trailer videos and for social media). I also enjoy throwing together videos from my trips. It's amazing what you can do with an iPhone and a GoPro.
